Subject: Imparts brake bleeder tool

Hi folks,

Is that imparts brake bleed tool worth a crap?  It's the hand held vacuum
pump kind.  Anyone have experience with this thing.  is it at least better
than the pedal method.- hell, it's only 59 bucks

Thanks

I didn't have much luck with the Imparts vacuum pump bleeder.  If I opened
the bleeder screw enough for the fluid to flow the air would leak around the
threads.  As a result it wouldn't create much of a vacuum.  I then purchased
the pressure bleed-style cap from Steve D'Gerolamo's "The Ultimate Garage."
A work of art.  With the pressure system, just open the bleed screw and
watch the fluid flow until you've accomplished your goal then tighten the
screw.  The only negative is the need to refill the master cylinder after
doing each wheel (especially if you're flushing the hydraulic system).  But
all-in-all, couldn't be easier.
